Yesterday I saw that some players affected were able to enter their games at least for a bit until the error occurred again.
Unfortunately my own game which has been fine got hit with the issue around 5pm local time yesterday. About 40 minutes earlier my sim had gotten married and I promoted the wife for the first time, chose her trait and changed her last name in CAS. Then I put the sims in quick relationship event together and closed the game. When it was time to host my weekly party, I couldn’t get in the game anymore. ☹️ Did the basic troubleshooting without uninstalling but no luck. 🤷♀️
I play with iPad 6th gen wifi, Finland.
Updating my experience, in case the team are reading - and to add to the list of things NOT to do, if you do get into your game!
I had access to my game from about 8pm GMT on Sunday until 6pm GMT on Monday (today).
Because of issues reported above and elsewhere, I’ve been very cautious with it: no parties, no visiting friends’ houses; no CAS; no swapping out active Sims; didn’t hard close the game. For the last 22 hours, I was able to do usual events and participate in the Treasure Hunt.
What I DID do, and what’s now locked me out again, was click, on the Treasure Map page, to go to the Sim in the Expedition event in Market Square (rather than clicking on his portrait in the UI). At that point, the game froze, I got the blue screen that we’ve all been seeing and I had to hard-reset the game. Now I’m back to ”Where’s the Network?”
I know it’s all been reported as a server issue but is there an additional, or related, issue here with the Treasure Hunt map being messed up (at least for me)? The events have not unlocked in order on the map - rather than progressing round the dotted line from the house, top left, to the final dig site, top right, my first dig site unlocked in the top right slot and the second in what’s usually the first.
Other info - I connect to Game Centre and EA only; no Facebook.
I’ll try and attach a screenshot, taken last night.
I don't know if it will work, for long, but I'm back in, for now. It lookslike we got some time added to the festival, but good luck wrapping up that Treasure Hunt, and finishing the Wumple's quest they just added. I hope it comes back up, for the rest of you.
Nevermind, it's already back. All I did was close the app, for a few.
